If you could realistically have any tank in your current home, what would you have?

I've been browsing tanks (I do this all the time...thinking about what sort of tank I'd realistically like to aim for at some point in the future) and found this:

Check out the wine rack

I'd set this up as a heavily planted tank with my current stock - plus a few large schools of fish like rummynose tetra and neons.

I can dream can't I?

While that's a cool tank and all I wouldn't want drunk ppl near my tank during wine parties lol

My house is fairly small and limited room at the moment, currently if budget (aka girlfriend) allowed I would revamp my 55 stock a little, and add a large bowfront corner tank or replace my 55 with a 175/155 bowfront tank

Haha...I wouldn't have wine parties - it'd be stocked with fine wines just for us.

I'm also eyeing up a 200 litre cube that I would keep tiger barbs in.

I don't have a picture of my tank, but I am currently working on getting a custom build that is 96x30x30 which works out to 374 gallons for jack dempsey's, vieja argentea, and some sort of severum. I can't decide which sev I like best.
Here is a picture of the stand my dad made for my 65g and I will want something similar for the new tank. That ugly 29g next to the empty tank is getting a re-scape as soon as I have the time.

That is a nice stand and matching canopy.

One day I will get my 10 foot custom built tank for some large marine angels

I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of set-up, and Mommy's as well

That tank is not ugly Mommy1! Give yourself some credit!

Personally I would have multiple racks of tanks upon tanks wall to wall for all the different types of species only or strain only discus tanks with a large 500 gal show tank arround an amazonian theme with about 1000 cardinals 500 lemon tetras and 20 discus.

All these would be on an automated water changer with a hidden water storage system that auto ages my water and heats to 82F.

A 180 gallon reef tank.

**Cliff** · 03-23-2013, 02:43 PM

I used to want a 120, then a 180, now I want a 10' X 3' X 2' (~450 gallons) FOWLR with a few larger marine angles and lionfish. Someday when I live in a house big enough for a tank like that on the main floor, I will get a tank like that

That would be nuts. I have given up on the fish room idea... too complicated. I am still thinking large bowfront show tank. My 55 would be a predator tank, then probably just a 8' rack with about 10 tanks.

2ea Planted 40 gallon breeders with Rams and some dither fish
3ea Planted 20 Long with a few different set ups - not sure yet but would want interesting stocks
4ea 10g - 1 shrimp tank, 2 Fry tanks, 1 QT Tank

Rack would be 8' Long, 18" deep, and probably have the top of the 10 gallon tanks around 6' from floor level. 8 strip lights, the 40 gallons would have there own filters, while the small tanks probably would just be sponge fed.

I would love a 10 foot long tank that was only 2 feet deep for my clown loaches when they get bigger. They are going to have to settle for the 8 foot tank in the 300-350 gallon range we are saving for now.

The reason I dont want a super deep tank is that fact I want to be able to reach the bottom without taking a swim.
